Dizziness and lightheadedness

Dizziness and lightheadedness was created by arsh1425
I feel dizzy and lightheaded everyday since being diagnosed. Sometimes even like I'm going to faint. And of course fatigue.

I asked the my doctor if its due to ITP but he said the only symptom of ITP is bleeding.

Just wondering if anybody else experiences a low level of dizziness through out the day.

I have had a full blood panel work-up for almost everything and even an EKG- everything is normal. Even electrolytes.

Thanks

Hi arsh1425 - how long have you been diagnosed with ITP? What was your last count? Are you seeing a hematologist or just using your PCP (asking because I don't think bleeding is the only symptom, and by bleeding what does he/she mean actual bleeding or brusing or what)? Have you had any treatments?

I've had ITP since 1989 and have never had fatigue due to it but I know others have (we moved to Tokyo shortly after I was diagnosed so I just didn't have time to be fatigued with meeting new friends and so much to see
[img
 ).   And I've never had dizziness.  I'm sorry you are having both! If the dizziness is due to ITP I don't know - have not heard of that yet.

I'm sure someone with more knowledge about this will see your post and respond. In the meantime take care and keep us posted as to how you are doing!

I haven't heard of dizziness being a symptom, but fatigue can be.  I did confirm that with my heama doctor.
Maybe someone else will chime in about the dizziness.
Sorry you're going through that.
